SHEET-METAL DOOR.

Original application filed March 17', 1917, Serial No. 155,501.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 27, 1921.

Divided and this application filed February 11, 1919. Serial No.276,410.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY R. GOGAY, a subject of the Crown ofGreat'Britain, and resident of Columbus, in the county of Franklin andState of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sheet MetalDoors, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in sheet metal doors with theobject in view of providing a door having its panel section formed withcontinuous peripheral moldings integral therewith, one of which moldingsforms, together with its panel member, a recess arranged to receive amirror, its panel member servin as a backing, separate supplemental molings being secured to the continuous peripheral molding for retainingthe mirror in place.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in theaccompanying drawing in which,

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of one corner of a panel, mirror,moldings and the adjacent rail and stile.

Fig. 2 represents a vertical section taken in the plane of the lineII-II of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 represents a view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating a modified formof panel molding and mirror retaining molding, and

Fig. 4 represents a vertical section taken in the plane of the line IVIVof Fig. 3.

The particular structure of the rail shown is described and claimed inthe Patent No. 986,018 dated March 7,1911, and I do not deem itnecessary to describe its construction only so far as it is used inconnection with my invention.

The stile is constructed similar to the rail and is only shown toillustrate its relation to the panel and moldings. The stile is denotedby 1 and the rail by 2. The rail is provided with two horizontalportions 3 which extend toward each other at the panel side of the rail,said portions having laterally extending parallel flanges 4. A clampingmember 5 preferably in the form of a rectangular tube is disposed in therail and has one side resting against the inner sides of the portions 3.This side of the clamping member 5 is provided with two laterallyextending parallelportions 6 between which may be placed a filling piece7 of asbestos,

or other suitable material. The outer edges of the portions 6 havereturn bends 8 between which are respectively clamped the flanges 4 ofthe rail 2. The return bend portions 8 are provided with flanges 9',disposed adjacent to and substantially parallel with the portions 3 ofthe rail. Each flange 9 has a longitudinal corrugation 10, the purposeof which will be hereinafter explained.

The panel section is composed of two panel members 11-12 each formedwith a continuous peripheral molding integral therewith.

The panel member 11 has a molding 13 which is provided with an inwardlyturned flange 14 having a corrugation 16 which is adapted to coact withone of the corrugations 10 of the rail.

The panel member 12 is provided with a molding 17 which has a lateralwall 18 which forms, together with the panel member 12, a recess for thereception of a mirror 19. This molding 17 is also formed with aninwardly turned flange 20 having a corrugation 21 which coacts with theother corrugation 10 of the rail. The panel 12 serves as a backing forthe mirror 19. The mirror is retained in position in the recess and inintimate contact with the panel 12 by separate and supplemental moldings22 which are secured to the molding 17 by means of screws 23 threadedinto reinforced portions 241 fixed on the molding 17.

The feature of the interlocking of the continuous peripheral panelmolding with the stile and rail sections shown and described but notclaimed herein forms the subject matter of my copending applicationfiled March 17, 1917 Serial No. 155,501.

It will be understood that various changes may be restorted to in theform, construction and arrangement of the several parts withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do notintend to be limited to the details herein shown and described except asthey may be specifically included in the claims.

What I claim is:

1. A panel having a lateral wall and a continuous peripheral moldingformed integral therewith, said molding and wall being offset from thepanel to form a recess for the reception of a mirror or other me1nherand a removable means for holding the mirror in the recess and inintimate contact with the panel.

2. A panel having a lateral wall and a continuous peripheral moldingformed 1ntegral therewith, said molding and wall being offset from thepanel to form a recess for the reception of a mirror or other member andmeans removably secured to the molding for holding the mirror in therecess and in intimate contact with the panel.

8. A sheet metal door comprising a panel member having a continuousperipheral molding formed integral therewith, said molding having alateral wall forming, together with the panel member, a recess arrangedto receive a mirror and a separate and supplemental molding secured tosaid peripheral molding for holding the mirror in the recess and inintimate contact with the panel member.

4. A sheet metal door comprising a panel member having a continuousperipheral molding formed integral therewith, said molding having alateral wall, forming together with the panel member, a recess arrangedto receive a mirror and a separate and (supplemental molding removablysecured to said peripheral molding for holding the mirror in the recessand in intimate 30 contact with the panel member.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name this 14th day of January, 1919.

HENRY R. GOGAY.
